Alkalines will get you 40 hours....the Energizer Ultimate Lithium (non rechargeable) will get you very close to 80 hours.

Tenergy is my brand of choice for rechargeable AA....30 hours roughly.

I am a cheap b@stard and get a 60 pack of Energizer AA's for Christmas and a 12 pack of 9V for my pin pointers as stocking stuffers. I have enough left over from last Christmass that I may not get more u til my birthday in June

Crazy battery life out of these machines.

60 pack / 4 = (15 x 40hrs) that gives me 600 hours minimum of detecting time each year on Santa.

Goolge "Alka Charger"
You guys need to buy one of these around $ 50.00 Recharges any battery including Alkaline Ni-Cd and Ni-Mh.
You can Completely Recharge ANY Alkaline Battery 4 to 5 times and then it throw away the instructions say 9 or 10 not true.
I have 4 sons "Battery Depletes " and bought a "Buddy L" brand Battery Charger 30 years ago and it worked so well for the boys ... i bought one for my Detector battery's myself.
So Loco if you realy are a cheap B....you need only to buy a 12 pack of AA batterys for the entire year charged 4X 12 +48 .
The charger has a tester and also does 9 Volt for your pin pointer .
In 30 years 2 different brands of these chargers never one battery has leaked or worse.

I think I have Energizer alkaline in mine currently. May be Duracell alkaline as well, however.

Whatever 16 pack is near the register at checkout depending where I am.

I'm a huge fan of buying bulk packs of Energizer alkaline batteries from CostCo.

The only time I bother with rechargeable batteries are in my pulse-induction machines, as they eat batteries while the F-75 just sips them.

Very true. Another thing I noticed about my f75 is it seems to have full performance even on very low batteries. 40hrs is definitely an under estimated spec.

All metal detector have a voltage check system to monitor the voltage....so it can`t lose power/depth with weaker battery's,nothing new in the F-75 for that .

I change my batteries in my tejon well before they're dead because that thing loses performance no doubt.

I use ac delco in bulk from Amazon best price I've seen. But the f75 is such a power miser what does it really matter?
